The man has taken his stab at destroying multiple city education systems. He can't be trusted.

Certainly a choice!

We could either have more people living in our great city or we could make endless AI slop renderings of empty space.

it's not the issue of this story, but it is a transparent example of how the "cars are freedom" narrative is a complete farce. when the state controls your movement and can immobilize you on a whim, you are not free. car dependency is an arm of fascism for the car *IS* fascism and must be abolished.

The U.S. Women's curling team is basically the antithesis of our hockey team in that we're frequently outgunned AND we also fail to take advantage of opponent slip-ups.

This right here. It's the simple answer staring us in the face, but most owners don't want it because it would mean they wouldn't have an excuse to reduce payroll to nil.

Having watched both the men's and women's teams' strategies now I feel like I'm on crazy pills. How can they be so bad at this?

Not taking the double takeout when you could is so insane. Prevent defense ultimately doing what prevent defense does.

US curling strategy in that 10th end was so bad, so atrocious that it made me feel genuine anti-patriotism.

Need to keep the pressure on to get this passed. This would be a major move.

U.S. Women's Hockey and U.S. Curling are the things I'm patriotic about. ๐Ÿซก

I also live in the 9th, and I have felt and continue to feel that the "she's not from here" thing is EXTREMELY overblown and silly. It has literally nothing to do with how effective a legislator you feel she will be.

This is just definitively untrue. This is basically a myth. Even burnt CDs have been found to have *at least* 30 years of lifespan, but CDs functionally can last your whole life in most cases.

CDs are:
1) Much cheaper
2) Take up Less Space
3) Are a practically indestructible lossless form of media

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

If you're gonna employ Josh McDaniels as an OC, eventually it's gonna cost you.

You already know the answer to this.

Brody is the most wonderful dude in wrestling, and if I were booking/promoting a company he'd be my #1 star (It helps that he's big, fast, cool as hell, and one of the best in-ring workers I've ever seen).

The mass layoffs at the Washington Post feel worse than the ones made during 2020, especially after the ones at NBC News, CBS, and the WSJ. So many smart and experienced people will leave the industry forever.

Yeah, because they're all supposed to just go find new jobs in the very healthy journalism sector. You're both morons.

Ran an absolute gem of a section. A number of books I would've never read if not for Post Books.

You're a rational person, though, and applying rationality to irrational people just doesn't work.

Consider that he's probably close personal friends with many owners who don't want their malevolence/incompetence to become headlines.
